Louisiana Tech University, Ruston, LA, is preparing to unveil a new addition to its Lambright Intramural Sports Center on April 16. The $12 million expansion includes an indoor competitive pool, an outdoor recreational pool with a sundeck and cabana, a rock-climbing wall and a wellness center.
James King, vice president for student affairs at Louisiana Tech, told The Town Talk the idea behind the new expansion is to proactively promote a healthy lifestyle.
"Our focus is beyond intramural play and recreation. It's about health and well-being," King told the newspaper. "We all perform better when we eat properly, exercise regularly and take care of ourselves, which translates into increased student retention and recruitment."
The roughly $12 million expansion broke ground in May 2010 and is funded by student fees. The addition will be directly connected with the original facility and will create one large recreational center.
The facility also will include a space next to the pool for healthy food offerings which features pool-side service, new locker rooms equipped with quick-dry machines for bathing suits and a second floor with workout equipment.
King hopes to incorporate certain academic programs into the operations of the facility such as dietetics students working with patrons by suggesting healthy menu items that fit their fitness goals, the newspaper reported.
Although it won't be complete by April 16, the facility also will hold a wellness center with space for exam rooms, counseling and a classroom to create a one-stop location for health education and advisement.
"The wellness center will give us that forum for a more proactive model for health," King told the newspaper. "Recreation is a big part of university life, and students' habits are usually formed now. Our goal is to provide them with the right information to make informed choices now."

The To Do List
This summer, two exhaustingly male-dominated subgenres of comedy film are given the fresh take of female leads: The Heat, which rebranded the buddy cop shtick with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy at the lead, and The To Do List, the new release that hands young (but playing younger) star Aubrey Plaza the sex comedy milieu. Playing a long-repressed high school graduate, Plaza's Brandy Klark takes a page from the American Pie book and ''vows'' to complete a list of sex acts prior to leaving her sleepy suburban hometown for college. This was an undertaking that many appreciated when handled by Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, and the other two. But when it's handed to Brandy, we can't help but squirm all the way through.
The first question we have to ask: is that because she's a woman? Are those of us who have a hard time with The To Do List anchored down by our shameful discomfort with female sexuality? Although it's necessary to entertain the possibility of our own prejudices, the blame here really lies with the character. Jim Levenstein and his band of merry idiots were not without their ethical shortcomings: they were a selfish, childish, vain, and inconsiderate bunch. But Brandy, and the very spirit of The To Do List entirely, is just plain mean.
Actively casting out the well-being of her friends and coworkers, Brandy turns what might have been a joyful albeit raunchy screwball comedy into a vindictive mission for self-gratification. So steadfast in her narcissistic ploy is the character that she destroys her closest relationships - those with lifelong pals played by Alia Shawkat and Sarah Steele, and more substantially, that with Cameron (Johnny Simmons), the friend who pines quite openly for her. Without any real interest in rectifying the latter turmoils, Brandy affixes herself to a new found ''live for the now'' mentality, not really recognizing that this passionate maxim is hardly a free pass to be a jackass to the people who care about her.
The film's saving grace, as one might expect, is Bill Hader, who enjoys his own story of abandoning his suspended adolescence to become a more ''appropriate'' version of an adult. Although we might roll our eyes at the film's intention to have us root for his perpetual party-boy attitude, we can't help but laugh at his usual charming delivery. That, and a couple of laughable gags from bit players Donald Glover, Andy Samberg, and Adam Pally, are what make The To Do List a passable hour-and-a-half of entertainment. Otherwise, the film's would-be fun-loving, youthful spirit crumbles under a misanthropic attitude and bitter disregard that no teen movie (or teen, for that matter) is duly entitled to.

A concession is required to use a drone on conservation land.
This world-class scenic landscape forms part of Te Wāhipounamu South West New Zealand World Heritage Area and is a treasure trove of amazing geology, rare flora and fauna and wonderful history.
Glacier region walks brochure (PDF, 4,714K)
Remember to Check, Clean, Dry all items before entering, and when moving between, waterways.
If you want to get closer to, or onto the glaciers, the safe way is to book a guided trip from Fox Glacier Weheka or Franz Josef Waiau. Guided operators operate in each village and provide a safe, informative way to get up close and personal with these amazing rivers of ice.
The high peaks within the park are a mecca for mountaineers, but are only suitable for the fit and experienced. There are five huts within the park which cater for climbers and ski-tourers.
There are two tracks in Westland Tai Poutini National Park where bikes allowed – Te Ara a Waiau walkway/cycleway (Franz Josef Waiau) and Te Weheka walkway/cycleway (Fox Glacier Weheka). These joint use tracks enable legal, partially off-road bike access from the respective townships to the glacier valley road end car parks. Bike access is not permitted on any adjoining tracks or up to the glaciers.
Mountain biking is also allowed on formed roads in the park – the North Ōkārito and Saltwater forests (north of Franz Josef Waiau) provide good opportunities.
A recreational gold fossicking area is located on the Waiho River bed in the general area between the Callery Gorge suspension bridge and the Waiho River road bridge. You are welcome to try your luck at finding gold with a gold pan or sluice box. No licence is required but your respect is appreciated.
Do not attempt to cross the Callery or Waiho Rivers on foot as both are very swift, cold and dangerous. Use the Waiho Road bridge.
A map of the area can be obtained from the Crown Minerals website. Please check the map carefully as the gold fossicking area is not marked.
Enquire at the Westland Tai Poutini National Park Visitor Centre for more details.
Read the gold fossicking care code.
Scenic flights operate over the glaciers and alpine snowfields, and sky diving operates from both Franz Josef Waiau and Fox Glacier Weheka. Many other tourism opportunities operate in, or just adjacent to, the park boundaries including boat, kayak and quad bike tours.
Bookings can be made directly with operators or through the Westland Tai Poutini National Park Visitors Centre and i-SITE.
Kayaking is available on many lakes and rivers in the park, and there is a self-guided kayak trail on the Ōkārito Lagoon.
Fox Glacier/Te Moeka o Tuawe from Mount Fox
Westland Tai Poutini National Park was established in 1960. Split by the Alpine Fault, it is a place of dramatic contrasts.
To the east of the fault mountains rise suddenly, and steep forested slopes are cut deeply with impassable gorges.
High above, permanent snowfields feed a myriad of glaciers, including Fox Glacier/Te Moeka o Tuawe and Franz Josef Glacier/Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere, which descend right down to the lowlands.
Dense rainforest covers the lowlands west of the fault. Nearer the coast, there are scenic lakes, wetlands and wide river mouths.
Douglas Walk
Wading birds and other water-loving creatures thrive in the wetlands around the coast. The threatened kāmana/crested grebe, can be found on Lake Māpōurika, and Ōkārito Lagoon is famous for the stunning kōtuku/white heron.
In the heart of lowland forest lives the only population of the endangered rowi – New Zealand's rarest kiwi. Kea are common throughout the park, and the forest is alive with birdlife.
Westland Tai Poutini National Park is located about halfway down the rugged West Coast of the South Island. The only road access is on SH6, via Hokitika in the north (approximately one and a half hours drive) or from the south via Haast (approximately two hours drive).
The townships of Franz Josef/Waiau and Fox Glacier/Weheka are on the park boundary and offer various services including accommodation, service stations, grocery stores and souvenir shops. Ōkārito is also on the edge of the park and has several accommodation options.
The closest commercial airport is in Hokitika, which has daily flights from Christchurch. There are also regular bus services along the coast.
Before you go into the outdoors, tell someone your plans and leave a date to raise the alarm if you haven't returned. To do this, use the New Zealand Outdoors Intentions process on the AdventureSmart website. It is endorsed by New Zealand's search and rescue agencies and provides three simple options to tell someone you trust the details about your trip.
Westland Tai Poutini National Park lies in the path of the prevailing westerly winds, which can bring heavy rain at any time of the year, with up to five metres falling annually.
Weather conditions can change dramatically, in a short space of time, so make sure you check the latest forecast at the Westland Tai Poutini National Park Visitor Centre and i-SITE in Franz Josef/Waiau or at the South Westland/Weheka Area Office in Fox Glacier/Weheka.
While you are there, make sure you check the current track conditions to ensure you have the most up-to-date information before heading out to explore the park.
Weather for Westland Tai Poutini National Park - Westland forecast
Safety signs, Franz Josef Glacier
Come prepared to encounter all conditions – you should carry warm and waterproof clothing with you at all times. And don't forget to bring insect repellent as sandflies are prevalent.
If you use the track system in the park for overnight trips, make sure you are properly equipped and well prepared. Make sure your group has a capable leader and that everyone is carrying a sleeping bag, cooking utensils, sufficient high energy food (with some extra for emergencies), a waterproof raincoat and overtrousers, gloves, a hat, and several layers of warm (wool or fleece) clothing.
See the visiting the glaciers safety information and obey all signs and rope barriers during your visit.

It's used on highly mobile teenagers in slasher flicks all the time - seems effective enough.

What's so bad about the male gaze?
Originally, as I understand it, it was supposed to refer specifically to shower scenes in movies and things like that, where the camera lingers over the woman specifically so the male audience can see her nude or semi-nude body.
But to a certain point, that's just an expression of male sexuality. I think it should be granted that to express male sexuality is not in itself wrong -- it's only the context that makes it wrong.
So what kind of context makes it wrong?
It goes back to the issue of exploitation in the last comic. It's wrong if it exploits. So what makes it exploitation?
In a movie, a woman agrees to pose nude, so it seems like a case where there's nominal consent between the viewer and the person being viewed (outside of the constraints of the story). So if you think exploitation somehow involves taking advantage of someone without their consent, the debate stops there, and the male gaze is not exploitation. And in general if a community of women and men decide that they want to show their bodies off to each other in public and through reproductions, there is no injustice.
But a lot of feminists seem to hold a more substantive theory of exploitation, where something is exploitation if it involves objectification, or else if the consent to be filmed is not real (again because of context), or even if a certain cultural practice creates an environment in which harm to women is more likely.
But how do you tell if something is objectification? And what are the criteria for what makes something a real choice? Even beyond that, since society isn't one thing, but a whole network of relationships and events, it seems like it's never going to be the whole culture that creates the wrong context (a rape culture), but just parts of the culture. Things are going to be mixed up -- in some movies, the male gaze will be intrusive and objectionable; in other movies, the male gaze will be part of the larger point. Just like James Joyce's Ulysses -- that was an expression of male sexuality, in many places, but the courts ultimately ruled it was OK because they decided it's sole purpose was not to be lascivious, and the dirty parts served to make a larger point.
I should admit that there are problematic expressions of sexuality in our society, but I sort've lean towards simple models of consent. People always have a choice (Seneca once said that, "You wish to find the road to freedom? Take any vein you like.", consent is not heavily context-dependent, and while people may exercise their freedom in ways that create a very bad culture, we should be careful about imposing restrictions from above (government) in order to change society. That means the best recourse when you see behavior you don't like is persuasion, and the kind of social change that leads to a better exercise of freedom will be gradual.
So there you have it. More mansplaining, more thingy things about things. But I've always had mixed views about feminism -- tended to take 1st wave for granted but been hesitant about a lot of things in 2nd and maybe 3rd wave -- and you guys have strong opinions very different from mine, so I guess that's sort've why I've joined this forum. I was hoping for an environment where a little heresy would be tolerated, but also where I can sort've hold my views up for scrutiny to see if I can't toss out some of the bad things (and I know from experience that there are always a lot of bad things).
Hope that's not too terrible :p

First of all, it's impolite to stare.
Second of all, it's creepy. How would you like it if people started staring at your crotch?

1. Does the male gaze have to be staring? I thought it was any kind of focus that's motivated by straight male sexuality -- so that whenever someone notices attractive features of a woman, the gaze that notices is a male gaze.
2. The context in which I've heard people speak of the male gaze is movies or pictures, which creates the further difficulty that there's apparent (I said "nominal") consent. So I'm assuming people accept that consent *would* be sufficient to justify the existence of these things, but that the ideas about patriarchy and rape culture are applied to show that the consent is not real consent.
And that's where I'm not sure how far I'm willing to agree. It actually reminds me of a really old issue -- if you do something under duress, do you choose to do it? Hobbes took an extreme view in the Leviathan and argued that you do. (If someone threatens you at gunpoint and asks for your wallet, if you give it to him, you do it freely -- you consent.) I'm not sure I go that far, but I'm not sure cultural coercion is strong enough to make the consent illegitimate.
So an argument would be.
1. There's nothing wrong with staring forms of the male gaze if there's consent between viewer and viewed.
2. In movies and photographs, there's consent between viewer and viewed.
So I'm wondering if people will object to (1) or (2) or both and why...

Sorry, I also just noticed -- when you make the comparison to eating, I guess that's sort've a response to (1). Even aside from whether there's consent, the staring is wrong because of the intention or something else (the context)?
It's actually interesting, because there's two levels of what I'm calling "consent" in the case of movies. There's the consent between actress, studio, and viewers, on the one hand, but then there's also a lack of consent between the fictional character and the male audience on the other. But in a way, for the artifice of a movie to hold up, there can't be any question of the character being *viewed* at all, because the camera is not a part of the fictional universe.
But I guess maybe another question is, what kinds of expression of sexuality are "good manners"? There's always going to be a level of sexuality that goes beyond consent, it seems to me, that exists just in the way we view each other and approach each other before consent can even occur. So how do we train and properly express sexuality? Whenever you view someone sexually, there's a delicate relationship between your concept of them as a person and your concept of them as someone you are attracted to.
-- I guess, your response indicates that sexuality and even acting on the basis of sexuality is fine, but that it has to be tamed somehow -- so what is a tamed sexuality that accords with our duties to each other as people? Even when straight men are alone and fantasizing, there's still going to be a male gaze (to use the concept in a very attenuated sense) if they ever think about women in a sexual way, so the regulation of sexuality has to extend even into the most private corners of life...

FAQs about the Entry-Level MHIIM Degree
Show All Answers | Hide All Answers
(Click on a question to show/hide the answer.)
Is the program available on-line?
Is the program available on-line?
The entry-level MHIIM program is offered on-line. One week per semester students are required to be either on campus or to attend classes virtually using video technology. For the rest of the semester, students utilize the course management system via the Internet to attend classes, complete assignment and interact with classmates and faculty members at a time convenient to their schedules.
Do I have to attend full time?
Students may attend either full-time or part-time. Part-time students must take a minimum of six credit hours per semester.
Will I be able to work while in school?
The part-time option is for students who need to continue to work full-time. The program is demanding and takes time and energy to complete assignments and participate in classes. Many students work part-time during the program.
What kinds of jobs do graduates get after completing the program?
There are many opportunities available to new graduates. The majority of graduates work in hospitals. There are many health information management professionals at the larger hospitals in Tennessee with a variety of responsibilities.
Is it difficult to get into the UT HIM program?
Students with a minimum 2.0 on a 4.0 scale are eligible for consideration although the average GPA for entering students is well above this minimum. We also consider the following in determining admissions to the program: academic record, pre-professional evaluations or letters of recommendation, past work experience, knowledge and understanding of the HIM profession, and the information gained from the personal interview with members of the admissions committee.
What sort of electives should I take?
It is important to have a well-rounded background. We strongly recommend that you take electives that will enable you to complete a degree in another area if you are not accepted. Management courses, computer courses, database management, decision support courses are helpful. Liberal arts courses in English, history, social sciences, other disciplines are also helpful. Courses which require writing assignments help prepare students for the important written communication aspects of the profession.
What courses do students take at UT?
Professional course content includes health information science, quality management, pathology, health information systems, coding and classification systems, legal aspects, research methods, data analysis, health statistics, organization of health care facilities, and personnel administration. Students complete clinical assignments in the health information departments of health care facilities and complete a final management affiliation.
It is challenging and fast-paced. Mature, independent students do well. All students gain organizational and time management skills. Students report that moving from a general university academic program into a professional program is a big transition and requires adjustments in their personal lives.
Do you accept out of state residents?
While priority must be given to Tennessee residents who meet the admission requirements, out-of-state residents are encouraged to apply. We have accepted out-of-state students in all of the recently admitted classes. The Financial Aid Office will have more information about tuition.
How much does the program cost?
The cost of the program is calculated by the credit hours you take each term. For
more information, refer to the Cost of Attendance estimate for Health Professions. Or you may contact the Office of Financial Aid Counselor for College of Health Professions
Gloria Dobbs email@example.com
Skype: glor.dob90
How long does it take to complete the program?
The program may be completed full-time in two years. However, most students take 2 courses per term and it takes 5 or 6 terms to complete the program. The majority of students graduate in 3 years or less.
Where do I send my transcripts and letters of recommendation?

The US and European/Asian formulas are very different and both have upsides and downsides. The US blushes tend to be smoother and silkier but they're also prone to kicking up a lot of powder and they are way more heavily scented. Baked blushes vary but in general are more shimmery and have more buildable pigmentation. Chanel has a great range of colours but is constantly discontinuing shades so your favourite might be gone once you've finished it.
By Emily 1 year ago.
Pretty natural blush, a little too heavily scented and far more pink than bronze (not sure why it's called Rose Bronze to be honest). It's definitely pigmented and can be a little powdery. Overall, a classic Chanel JC blush with an English Rose effect.
By K.C. 2 years ago.
This is the first Chanel blush that I have ever purchased, and I was able to purchase it for $32 on Bloomingdale's! I posted about it on my blog and Instagram (@kaypls) to hope that people can know about that deal :) Pigmentation is great; the color is a bit too "bold" for me (I've been using shimmery blushes with a slight sheen in the past), but it's still very gorgeous and high quality. The swatches come out very nice. I purchased some other blushes at the same time (drugstore and highend - because you can't have too few blushes!) and the swatches from this blush looked the best!
By Fzlt 3 years ago.
I'm in love with this product!! - It smells nice - Beautiful color - Good pigmentation - Blend very beautiful - Make sure you do not use too much by reason of the color / pigmentation - Gives a nice shine/glow - I was outside all day and it was still good. even once after exercise he was good (I had noticed it until evening when I looked in the mirror)
By Rose 3 years ago.
I don't know people who don't like or even hte this Chanel blushes.They are quiet expensive , but they are worth the price.The color of blush is gorgeous.It's kind of coral, maybe orange shade with gold shimmer. I can compare this shade with Nars Orgasm blush. First, I want Nars product, but I had no opportunity to get it, so I had another great product- Chanel Blush in the same ( my opinion) shade. The pigmintation is just amazing! You need a little touch to have a pop of color.This shade is very bright, so be careful to use this. It is very easy to blend if you apply a bit more of product.It lasts about 8 hours on me( Combination-to-oily skin without primer but foundation and powder).It is baked product so buying one color you won't have to buy it again during your life (I think).
By Anna 4 years ago.
As far as I know, this is now permanent. It's pigmented like hell and If you put too much on, there's no way to sheer/blend it out. The colour is very pretty, but if you use too much (or have some natural redness in your face), you could end up looking like you have fever. ;-)
By Mindy 5 years ago.
I love Chanel's JC blushes. I wore this on my wedding day. On my NC25-30 it gives a soft, luminous color described exactly by its name. I absolutely love it.

"I worked for an employer who didn't provide earned sick leave. I was forced to go to work sick. Since I wasn't able to stay at home and recuperate it took me a lot longer to get well. Unfortunately, my younger children would then get sick and my older daughters had to stay home from school so I could go to work. I couldn't afford not to get paid. Not only did this affect my daughters' school attendance, but it put me in a position that no responsible parent wants to ever be in." --Latosha, Atlanta

My brother borrowed five thousand riyals from me, and my sister borrowed five hundred riyals. I always pay my zakaah in Ramadaan. Should I pay zakaah on these two debts? Is it permissible for me to use it to feed fasting people or to establish a charitable waqf for a library for da'wah?.
The scholars of the Standing Committee said:
If the debtor is in difficulty or he has sufficient funds but he is taking a long time to pay back the loan, and the lender cannot get his money back from him – either because he does not have proof that will help him get it back through the authorities or he has proof but he cannot find any authority figure to help him get his rights – as happens in some countries where there is no support for people's rights – then the lender does not have to pay zakaah until he gets his money back and one full hijri year has passed since he got it.
But if the debtor has sufficient funds and it is possible to get the money back from him, then the lender has to pay zakaah every time a full hijri year has passed, if the loan reaches the nisaab by itself or when added to other money, etc.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah li'l-Buhooth al-'Ilmiyyah wa'l-Ifta, 9/191
If zakaah is due on a person's wealth, it is not permissible for him to dispose of it except in the ways prescribed in sharee'ah, which are explained in the answer to question no. 6977. It is not permissible to use zakaah to feed the fasting or to establish a charitable waqf, because these are not among the eight areas in which zakaah is to be spent, as defined by Allaah, may He be exalted.
We have already explained that it is not permissible to use zakaah funds to build mosques and schools, or to print Mus-hafs. See questions no. 13734 and 21797.
And Allaah knows best.

SWAT to Train in Buyout House
A Barnes County-owned buyout house along the Sheyenne River south of Valley City will serve a special purpose before it is eventually dismantled.
At Tuesday's meeting the county commission moved to allow the regional SWAT team to use the building for training exercises.
The exact time and location of the training will not be made public because the team wishes to keep its methods a secret from the criminals who will be subject to them.
"They would like it to be out of town to maintain some privacy," County Emergency Manager Kim Franklin said. "They're not going to advertise it ahead of time. They don't want a lot of onlookers; they have their own things they practice."
Commissioner Cindy Schwehr said she'd be interested in viewing the training.
"I participated in a SWAT team's training exercises in a buyout home in Valley City one time," she said. "Last time I got to be the drug addict so I got dragged out and (an officer) threw me on the ground and 'cuffed me. It was pretty fun; of course I wasn't cooperating so I got what I had coming."
None of the county's FEMA buyout homes can be demolished and burned until all asbestos is safely removed. In the past, county officials found themselves in hot water after a county-retained contractor improperly removed from another county-owned property slated for demolition.
Also, due to dry weather several burning bans had been in effect.
The county's fire threat was reduced to medium on Monday following weekend rains.
"We're not talking burning this one, they're going to practice, I assume, some kind of drug-bust hostage situation," Schwehr said.

Let's warm up with a Preseason Quarterback Prospect Pessimism Index. The scale goes from 0 to 5, with 0 representing a complete lack of pessimism, which happier and more fulfilled people call "optimism." Five represents a feeling akin to endorsing Blaine Gabbert for Secretary of State. Negativity sells on the Internet!
Blake Bortles: 1. Bortles looks comfortable and is doing a lot of things right. Chad Henne looks the same way. The whole Jaguars offense appears to be more settled than last year, when they sometimes played like they just met for the first time in the parking lot and were working from an old copy of Offensive Football Strategies. The Jaguars should use the early season as an opportunity for Henne to provide stability to the young receivers and linemen, but the Jaguars have an organizational habit of doing insane things with their quarterbacks at the end of August.
Teddy Bridgewater: 1.25. A pair of late-game scoring drives on Saturday took away the sting of a shabby preseason debut. That said, they were late-game scoring drives in August. Bridgewater is doing all of the developmental things a young quarterback should do and needs the time to keep doing them. That means lots of preseason snaps, but the least amount of pressure to start the opener.
Ryan Tannehill: 1.75. The top two young quarterbacks giving off a David Carr vibe right now: 2) Derek Carr; and 1) Tannehill, who sometimes looks like he has taken too many hits to really understand what can be done during that second second in the pocket. Tannehill had a great preseason opener, a so-so follow up and a camp that changes complexion depending on who you talk to. This list is not about buying or praising anyone, but it's getting harder to lump him with the Russell Wilson crowd and easier to lump him with the next two guys on this list.
Sam Bradford: 2. Bradford looks sharper on short passes and more in tune with his receivers. Maybe if he had to run sprints every time he threw a deep pass nine yards out of bounds …
Jake Locker: 2.5. Locker rebounded from his football-in-a-car-wash performance in the preseason opener to lead a few productive drives against the Saints starters. Some crisp passes aside, Locker is starting to look a little too much like Bradford: effective when throwing short between the numbers, unpredictable in every other situation. That was essentially the Mark Sanchez scouting report, and we are talking about three high draft picks who received multiple opportunities to hold onto their starting jobs. That said, there are plenty of quarterbacks lower on this list.
Geno Smith: 3. Geno looks better than November 2013 Geno but nothing like September 2012 Geno. Too many passes still look like they were fired from a slingshot.
EJ Manuel: 4.75. After watching three preseason games and two days of practices with the Steelers, I am running out of benefit of the doubt for Manuel. His ball placement, even on the simplest throws, is horrendous. This was supposed to be a major growth offseason for him, but even in practice he is spraying and bouncing passes.
Johnny Manziel: Grade Incomplete. The Browns play on Monday. The decision comes on Tuesday. Overreaction comes Wednesday. Regrets begin on Thursday. Happy hour is on Friday. Guess who's buying?
Get Your Story Straight
The end of training camp marks the official start of overblown storyline season. But like Christmas displays on Labor Day, overblown storylines no longer wait until we are ready for them. The new models have been on showroom floors for weeks; in the upcoming weeks of preseason hoopla, they will gather energy like a hurricane in the Caribbean, then sweep across the football mindscape.
Don't be caught unprepared! When someone tries to steamroll you with the latest broad NFL talking point at the water cooler, your fantasy draft or during hour three of the midday show, make sure you are armed with both facts and a deep understanding of the issues. You may not win any arguments -- it may not be advisable to even try -- but there's satisfaction in being the one person in a conversation who actually knows what he or she is talking about.
Here are some of the broad storylines that already have their own barometric pressure, the history behind them and the information you need to keep them from ravaging the countryside. Warning: not all overblown storylines are as overblown as they seem. Sometimes, the weather girl calls for eight inches of snow and you get a foot. Plus several defensive holding penalties.
Defensive penalties will cause the downfalls of first the Seahawks, then western civilization. Richard Sherman will choke on a yellow flag and die this year. He will jam a receiver, just like he has hundreds of times during his rise to stardom in the last two years, and an avalanche of penalty flags will bury him. One flag will lodge in his esophagus and he will flail like a seagull caught in a six-pack ring tab before collapsing to the turf.
While that particular scenario has not yet been posited, just about every variation on the defensive penalties bring chaos storyline has. On one extreme, the Seahawks fall out of the playoff chase (because they, like all successful teams of the past 20 years, are a bunch of dirty cheaters), offenses enjoy first down after first down thanks to cheap penalties and the quarterback who gains the most ticky-tack flags through a mixture of reputation and incessant complaints wins. (Hooray, Tom Brady!) On the other extreme, nothing noteworthy will happen at all; numerous coaches have mumbled bland "We will all adjust almost immediately" statements, which start to sound believable after you have been brainwashed by dozens of preseason press conferences.
Here is some data on defensive penalties through two preseason games this year and in 2013. Keep in mind that three games are missing from this year's data (Sunday's and Monday's) and that the league warned coaches that it would "rain flags" in the preseason to force everyone to start adapting to the newly-reinterpreted contact fouls:
|Pass Interference
|Defensive Holding
|Illegal Contact
Umm … HOLY FREAKIN' COW.
Let's just focus on defensive holds for a moment. There were 218 of them called last year during the regular season, including declined penalties. That comes out to 13.6 per week of real football, or just about one per game. So far in the preseason, there will have been over 50 holds per week once Sunday and Monday's games are included, or more than three per game. Factor in a tenfold increase in the number of illegal contact fouls and … yikes.
Yes, referees are emphasizing the new rule interpretation, so there will be some settling in the data. We are talking about a 500 percent increase in penalties that generally turn incomplete passes or interceptions into offensive first downs, so even if the penalty rate is cut in half, we are still in the stratosphere.
Bottom line: No one can look at the table above and assume that business will return to usual in three weeks. That's not "adjustment" data, it's "massive course change" data.
We are likely to see "ruined" games early in the season as overzealous flagging bogs the action down and judgment-call fouls have too great an impact on the final score. We will probably see a scoring increase, as well as a smaller increase in passing totals. Different officiating crews will call penalties at different rates; smart analysts and handicappers will track the crews to get an edge. The NFL will claim that nothing is wrong, no games are being marred by dubious calls and that everyone is much happier now that defenders essentially have to avoid receivers like they were playing freeze tag.
It's all speculation, except for that last bit. The numbers in the table above are so extreme that we should expect the unexpected. The table shows "cloning dinosaurs from DNA found in mosquitos trapped in amber" data. It can topple all of our analytical models.
One thing I do not expect is a Seahawks-localized collapse. If anything, a team with top secondary talent, top defensive coaching and a deep/diverse pass rush is better equipped to survive a new flag-heavy reality than a team dependent on ordinary defenders. The Seahawks lost a defensive touchdown to a penalty this weekend, but they have not been unduly penalized during their brief sample size. They will be adjusting like everyone else, but they are more adjustable than their "maul the receiver" reputation suggests.
The great completion percentage straw man argument. When Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo announced that he set a goal for Eli Manning to complete 70 percent of his passes, he not only put pressure on Eli but placed a bounty on the completion percentage statistic as well. You don't have to live close to New York to hear the chatter. Oh great, so now instead of trying to throw downfield and win games, Eli is going to dink-and-dunk to the running backs to make his stats look good. He'll throw three passes for six yards, his coach will be happy and the Giants will punt.
Only four quarterbacks have completed over 70 percent of their passes in a full season: Drew Brees twice (2009 and 2011), Ken Anderson (strike shortened 1982), Steve Young (1994) and Joe Montana (1989). Three of those seasons ended with a Super Bowl victory. Brees' 2011 ended with a crazy playoff loss to the 49ers, while Anderson's 1982 season ended during a weird post-strike playoff tournament. The 70 percent seasons are all both great quarterback seasons and great team seasons.
The image of a quarterback "dink and dunking" his way to an incredibly high completion rate is largely a fiction. There are examples of ordinary quarterbacks having ordinary years whose completion percentages approached 70: Brian Griese in 2004 (69.3 percent for the Buccaneers), David Carr in 2006 (68.3 for the Texans). But most of the names on the all-time completion rate leaderboard are Brees, Peyton Manning, Young and Kurt Warner, plus lesser quarterbacks known for their efficiency, like Rich Gannon and Chad Pennington.
There's a reason mediocre quarterbacks have trouble approaching a 70 percent completion rate, even as the league average creeps into the low-60s and screen passes become an increasing component of offensive strategy. A quarterback who tries to "game the system" by checking down and throwing tons of screens and dump-offs is likely to fall behind in the game. He will then be expected to throw deeper and take more risks, which will lower his completion rates. So there's a cause-and-effect synergy at work in the statistics of a player like Brees. His high-percentage passing capability gives him the lead in games, allowing him to continue to throw high-percentage passes. Brees' rate dropped to 63.0 percent during the 2012 Bountygate season, then bounced back to 68.6 percent last year. The absence of Sean Payton and other variables impacted the drop, but simple situational forces were also in play when Brees was going 35-of-54 for three touchdowns in losing efforts.
(You may think that a quarterback who is always hopelessly behind gains a completion rate advantage, but the impact of garbage-time production is not as great as you might think. Remember that if a quarterback goes 7-of-11 in garbage time, that only gets him to 64 percent, and he probably did some naughty things to reach garbage time in the first place.)
So McAdoo is setting a lofty standard for Eli. Setting a statistical benchmark for a player is not unusual at all, though publicizing it is. Coaches set all manner of benchmarks for players, units and teams, but they don't tell us about them for a variety of good and bad reasons. (They don't want to hear about it when they fall short, they are secretive by nature, they hold us in contempt, etc.) Some of the goals are vague and a little silly, like the mission statement of an ambitious company as rewritten by someone who drank too many energy shakes and glued down his caps-lock button.
Slogans like those are common on the front pages of playbooks. But game plans and seasonal goals often include lofty-but-actually-attainable goals: cut interception rate in half, hold opponent to a field goal or less on every red zone trip and so on. These attainable goals help shape practice schedules, inform study sessions and more. Telling Eli Manning to "get better at everything" sounds great until he has to decide what weights to lift, passes to throw, game film to watch or techniques to refine. Telling him to up his completion rate significantly gives Eli (and McAdoo and the assistants) some direction.
So Manning is shooting for a completion rate seven points higher than his career best. He is doing it in an offense that includes more (sigh) dink-and-dunk passes than Kevin Gilbride's more vertical system. Did you know that 64 percent of NFL passes travel 10 yards or less downfield in the air? Forty-four percent of passes travel five or fewer yards downfield. It's a dink-and-dunk world we live in. Get used to it.
The Giants' completion rate after three games is just 59.6 percent; Eli has thrown just 16 passes, so pointing out his 43.8 percent rate would be both mean and statistically invalid. The bottom line is that if Eli approaches a 70 percent completion rate, he and the Giants offense will have a great season and if the Giants offense has a great season, it will help fluff up that completion rate. It's not the number that matters. It's the goal and the expectations and preparation that spring from that goal.
Without a receiver who "lifts the lid," your offense is a wet bathmat. This is the Meme That Consumed Philadelphia in the spring of 2013. Forget talk radio hosts and Twitter followers: Men and women on the street asked me over and over again in recent months whether the Eagles will be able to move the ball at all without DeSean Jackson and the coverage he attracts.
Clearly, Jackson has this effect on opposing offenses:
It's not just Jackson. Josh Gordon remains under the Sword of Goodellocles, and the Browns' season rests on whether Goodell's tabby cat ultimately decides to tear its Gordon-shaped chew-toy apart (one-year suspension) or gets bored and sleeps in a sunny spot (scot-free; if it tears up the curtains instead, that's eight games, but heaven help Jim Irsay). If Gordon is available, Jordan Cameron will be open on every single pass play, because the safeties will be wading in Lake Erie. Without him, you will be watching the Dayton Triangles of 1925. (They scored three points in eight games. True story.)
The "lift the lid" concept is a great example of overemphasis of a fundamentally true strategic concept. When an offense has an outstanding deep passing game, safeties are more likely to play deeper, opponents are more likely to call two-deep and three-deep zones than Man-Zero (one-on-one coverage with nobody deep, which is pretty rare anyway in conventional down-and-distance situations) or Man-Free (one-on-one, one deep safety). There are bracket coverages, rolling coverages and other tactics that can be used to provide deep support for anyone lined up against DeSean, Gordon, Dez Bryant or any other troublesome receiver.
But there are lots of receivers around the NFL who attract such attention. And these coverages are situational, anyway: When the Browns lined up with two backs, two tight ends and Gordon last year, opponents did not respond with a three-deep zone shaded to Gordon's side, but with something like Man-Free. Any receiver with decent speed will take the free safety with him when running a deep post route. Even Stephen Hill! A fast tight end can "lift the lid" by running a seam route. Any three pro receivers or tight ends running three-vert concepts -- like it sounds, three-vert means three guys running downfield routes -- should create space underneath for some Darren Sproles or Nate Burleson-type to find a crease.
And of course, NFL wide receivers are paid to win one-on-one matchups against NFL cornerbacks. They don't need a teammate playing Follow the Leader with the safeties in the parking lot to make it happen.
There are obviously extremes. The Chiefs, who have some kind of fast-receiver allergy, labor harder to generate a downfield game than, say, the Steelers. Last year's Vikings had some great receivers but their quarterbacks had no downfield range; opponents let their safeties crowd the box to stop Adrian Peterson, with predictable results. This year's Lions have so many downfield weapons that defenses will be constantly pressured: rolling coverage toward Calvin Johnson will stretch resources for stopping Golden Tate and Eric Ebron thin. If the Eagles take the field in September without Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper, the loss of Jackson will feel particularly acute.
But we are talking now about rosters, quarterbacks and passing games, not individual receivers. Great deep burners like DeSean and Gordon make an impact, but that impact has become overstated, in part because it's easy to create a GIF or clip of a receiver drawing "double coverage" to justify his contribution in a game where he has one catch for six yards.
Desean-types make their greatest impact not by attracting defensive attention, but by CATCHING LONG PASSES THEMSELVES AND SCORING TOUCHDOWNS. Replacing DeSean's 1,332 yards will take some work, because 1,332 yards do not grow on trees. But Cooper's 835 yards and the Eagles tight ends' 971 yards won't evaporate because they just cannot shake those pesky defenders all by themselves.
Let's inspect that package. It was only a matter of time before we started analyzing Johnny Manziel's package. We've been examining Michael Vick's package for years. It eventually stops getting creepy.
The Jets are considering some kind of Wildcat package for Vick. The Jets consider a lot of terrible things. Television analyst Donovan McNabb hates the idea, which is not a good enough reason to embrace it. Swirling within the tornado of Manziel hyperventilation is the rumor that Manziel may also be granted some suspicious "package" role if he does not earn the starting job by the season opener, which he won't.
Rule of thumb: If you're mobile and highly touted and your backup is not, there will always be "package" talk. If you're mobile and highly touted and your backup is Geno Smith, there will always be "package" talk.
Manziel is an unlikely candidate for a Wildcat role (it's either misuse that label or keep saying "package" until we're all self-conscious). Two of the biggest knocks against him after a month of full-squad work are his decision making and his recklessness. Manziel is not sure what he is doing, but his default mode is to do it head first. Send him into a game ice cold in the second quarter to execute an intricate option and he may misread the defense, fumble, injure himself or go for the trifecta.
Manziel has been working on option-tinged plays in Browns practices and preseason games. So has Brian Hoyer. The Browns playbook looks very similar to what Kyle Shanahan used in Washington the last two years. As Nick Foles taught us last year, the speed of the quarterback in such a system is just one of the variables that lead to success. If Shanahan inserts Manziel simply because he wants a faster quarterback in the game, that tips his hand, doesn't it? He could do it as a decoy, but that takes us quickly into Vizzini the Sicilian logic. They think Manziel will run an option, so we will really just have him hand off, but they will be waiting for that, so … NFL coaches sometimes do trap themselves in such conundrums, but they should never be encouraged to do so.
Vick is a big-armed scrambler who would replace a big-armed scrambler in any specialized Wildcat role. If he were an acceptable option quarterback at this point in his career, he would probably still be in Philadelphia. Marty Mornhinweg tinkered with Vick packages when the two were paired in Philly, and Mornhinweg has developed an obsession with wacky substitution packages. The man who gave direct snaps to Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight and ran Antonio Cromartie onto the field at the strangest times imaginable will have no qualms about asking a veteran quarterback to hustle on the field for an isolated play. Mornhinweg is reluctant to use Wildcatish wrinkles on two successive plays, which guarantees that the plays confuse the Jets as much as they surprise opponents.
The lone example of a "package quarterback" successfully diversifying an offense and developing a young quarterback is Colin Kaepernick in 2012. In terms of quarterback production, here is what Kaepernick offered in the days of the WildKaep: 5-of-9 passing for 89 yards, 13 carries for 111 yards and two touchdowns across five games. Two of the games were blowouts by the Niners; Kaepernick's contributions to 34-0 and 45-3 wins were significant (he made some non-garbage-time big plays) but the 49ers would have coasted without him. The experience was helpful when Alex Smith got hurt a few weeks later, but really, did nine passes and 40 yards of offense per game for a month turn Kaepernick into who he is today? More accurately, Kaepernick was turning into who he is today so rapidly that Jim Harbaugh felt compelled to give him nine passes and 13 rushes.
So there's our one unequivocal success in the 30 years since Buddy Ryan tried to make Randall Cunningham a "third-down specialist" for the Eagles. (The result was a then-record 72 sacks.) My guess is that Manziel will start when he is good enough to play. If Vick starts wandering into huddles regularly, it will spell disaster for both him and Geno.
And all of the package talk, like most preseason package talk, will remain talk.

Missing a game was painful enough for New Orleans Saints free safety Malcolm Jenkins, but watching Sunday's 41-0 thrashing of the Tampa Bay Bucs was tougher than he could ever have imagined.
Jenkins was put on injured reserve Saturday, one week after suffering a hamstring injury against the New York Giants. The next day, all he could do was help youngsters Isa Abdul-Quddus and Rafael Bush take his place.
Jenkins said he had a two- to three-week injury, which means it would have been a tight squeeze for him to return for the Dec. 30 season finale with Carolina. So, the decision was made to go on injured reserve.
"It's frustrating, but at the same time I think it was the smartest decision," said Jenkins, one of the defensive captains. "With the playoffs looking kind of slim, it wasn't smart to try to get back for (Carolina).
"I agreed with the decision from that standpoint, but as a competitor it was frustrating — especially when have a shutout like last week. Those kinds of performances you always want to be a part of."
Still mourning
When the Dallas Cowboys play the Saints on Sunday in Cowboys Stadium, it will have been only two weeks since the death of practice squad member Jerry Brown in a car accident.
Brown was killed when a car driven by Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent, his college teammate at Illinois, flipped over on Dec. 8. Brent was charged with intoxication manslaughter and is on the reserve/non-football-injury list.
"I do think we came together, as a result of it, and we helped each other get through it," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. "I think our team did a really good job somehow, someway, processing the tragedy and at the same time maintaining some focus to be able to play football.
"It was particularly hard the first week, but it was equally challenging last week for different reasons. He was a big part of our team and he's not here."
Saints visit Walker
The Saints talked Wednesday for the first time about visiting Tulane safety Devon Walker, who fractured his spine in a Sept. 8 game at Tulsa and has been recovering in an Atlanta rehab facility.
At least nine Saints players and interim coach Joe Vitt visited Walker on his 22nd birthday when the Saints played the Falcons in Atlanta last month.
Joining Vitt were Jenkins, Drew Brees,Jonathan Vilma,Pierre Thomas,Roman Harper,Marques Colston,Lance Moore, Will Smith and Zach Strief.
"What's unbelievable is his attitude and how positive he was," Brees said of Walker, a Destrehan native who'll continue his rehab after spending the holidays with his family back in Louisiana.
Practice report
Strief, who missed last week's game with an ankle injury, practiced on a limited basis Thursday for the first time since being hurt in a Dec. 9 game against the Giants.
The only player who didn't practice Thursday was FB Jed Collins (knee/toe). CB Patrick Robinson(groin), RB Chris Ivory (hamstring) and RB Pierre Thomas (knee) were limited.
Thomas was added to the report Thursday after having full participation Wednesday.
For the Cowboys, NT Jay Ratliff (groin) did not practice, while RB DeMarco Murray (foot), WR Dez Bryant (finger), LB DeMarcus Ware (elbow) and LB Ernie Sims (concussion) were limited.
Fan vote in
The final online totals in the fan voting for the AFC and NFC Pro Bowl squads were released by the NFL on Thursday.
Brees was ninth among all players and third among NFC quarterbacks with 578,753 votes, while Saints punter Thomas Morstead led at his position with 104,563 votes.
The fan vote counts one-third with the players and coaches counting for one-third each. The teams will be announced Wednesday.
PULSE winners
Brees, Jenkins and Harper have been chosen by their teammates to receive NFL Players Association PULSE Awards for their work in the community.
Each year, the NFLPA recognizes players who are as dedicated off the field as they are on it. A total of 72 players were chosen this year by their teams.
The list will be whittled to five semifinalists with one receiving the 2013 Byron "Whizzer" White Award, named in honor of the former football player and Supreme Court justice. The winner will also receive $100,000 for a charity of his choice.
Texas tough
Since losing their first nine times against the Cowboys in Dallas, the Saints have won three straight there.
The Saints lost nine games in Dallas between 1967 and 1991, with the first two coming in the Cotton Bowl and the next seven in Texas Stadium.
The Saints finally broke through with a 27-13 win in 2004 and pounded the Cowboys 42-17 in 2006. They also won 30-27 on Thanksgiving Day 2010 in their first visit to Cowboys Stadium.

Give your marriage another chance
Q. Is there an age at which divorce causes more or less damage to children? My kids are in elementary and middle school. My husband and I have grown apart and live like friendly roommates. I'm very unhappy, but I think the kids perceive our home as warm and secure.
Sometimes I think I should just stay with my husband until our youngest child goes to college, but that will be in 10 years. I don't think I can hang in there that long. Will the kids be able to handle it better if I wait until they're in high school?
For the Kids' Sake
A. The kids will handle anything better if you demonstrate compassion, resourcefulness, selflessness, wisdom and integrity.
Which means I don't see any best-case outcome here unless you first try really try to restore these friendly roommates to husband and wife. Which means saying to this spousal roommate something, anything, to open his eyes to the extent of your unhappiness, and inviting him into the process of reversing years of mutual emotional neglect. Find a talented marriage counselor, a reputable and inspiring marriage retreat or seminar, or just watch a season or five of "Friday Night Lights" together. Seriously it's like a marriage clinic, with cheerleaders.
I realize it's inherently offensive for a third party to declare from on high (actually, quite close to sea level, if you must know) that you don't "deserve" a divorce because you haven't worked "hard" "enough" to "save" your marriage. I also think misery can be its own justification to leave a relationship, for many reasons among them that kids don't automatically thrive in households with "very unhappy" parents just because both parents happen to live there.
However, you put the stay-for-kids option on the table, so respect your own reasons and keep it there, with one tweak do it for yourself, too.
Notching years into your Maytag like some kind of domestic castaway, though, is a cop-out; don't just stay till it's societally palatable to leave. Instead, take that concern for your kids' emotional health and back it with everything you've got. Recognize that you had your reasons to choose this man as your life partner and father to your children. Accept that some of the reasons were probably good ones. Then, put in the effort to find out whether any of those reasons can be revisited, rethought, repurposed or retrofitted into some form of personal satisfaction. Maybe not the one you thought you wanted at 21, but one that fits who you've become.
Virtually every marriage left untended will get weedy. It's actually the better ones that decay into what you have, warm detachment, because there is actual warmth plus enough maturity between you to coexist in peace. An army of professionals in the divorce industry, from lawyers to judges to shrinks, stands ready to reassure you that these two qualities are not in abundant supply and not to be lightly dismissed.
Maybe you call it faint praise that your husband is someone you get along with, are invested in and who isn't mean to you but, from on low, I call it a chance.
